Hello all! Do you remember the feeling when you got your much desired package from Santa Claus? The gift you've hoped for so long and you finally got it? You knew what was in there, and after long waiting it was on your hands and you got to open it... Well, I had the same feeling while opening my Hip Kit Club April package, full of April Kit goodies!
After sniffing and smelling the goodies, I decided to go with a lot of colors with my first April Kit layout. I chose an Easter themed picture of my daughters, in black and white, then used a lot of colorful papers and embellishments around it.
As you see above, I recorded a process video while crafting. Enjoy watching!

There are two layouts on Hip Kit Club blog today, be sure to check the another from there, I will post about here later this week.

Hello! Today is a special day. Not only I'm saying goodbye to Creative Embellishments Design Team, but to CSI Design Team, too. I've been lucky to have a year long journey with CSI, and if we add my Guest Designer duties, the journey with CSI is almost one an half year long. Think about the case files I have solved! Real detective, right!?

Big thank you for Debbi for having me. It's been a pleasure!

I've been designing for Creative Embellishments over half years and it has been so much fun! I actually still have un-used ideas about how to alter those lovely chipboards, I'm going to do them all so stay tuned.

Another big thank you for Nicolle for having me and believing in me!

But back to the layout. I thought to make my last case file about the man in my life. To be more specific, I wanted to write about how much fun we have together. Not that our everyday life is always full of laughter, but we do find hilarious things from our days :)

Hello sweethearts! It's quite foggy Monday here, so I thought bright it up with a huge amount of blingbling! I'm not a big fan of thickers, as you may notice if you go though the layouts I've done so far. So when I got these big fat glittery thickers from ArtWorkshop I wasn't sure what to do with them.

But then I got an idea: If you can't hide it, show and highlight it! So I made a background full of shiny glittery numbers and continued the shiny feeling by adding title with the same thickers. It turned out so cool!

The story behind the picture tell about our forest walk few weeks ago. Nature called out our little Mea, and as we didn't have any toilets around... Ops!

Hello all! Sometimes is nice to do something just for me, as this layout about my older daughter. I took the picture like three years ago, but it's still one of my favorites. She standing on the beach and staring into water - thinking of something and I don't know what.

I bought some new goodies last weekend from Askartelupirtti (event, where I was teaching) and I used some new papers and die-cuts to this one.

I also used pens and pencils in several ways, so this layout matches perfectly to current Scrap Africa challenge.

Hello! It's Thursday morning, and it means that my second post is up over at Hip Kit Club blog. I created a layout with March Kits, but there is also some goodies from February Main Kit and February Color Kit.
I love all kind of pictures, but these posing pics are something really special. You can hide so much about yourself when posing to camera, or you can be just the way you are and capture it. I wonder which expression is on my face ;)

Now, hop on to Hip Kit Club blog to read more! Oh, and mark your calendar to 1st - 3rd May, it's National Scrapbooking Day and to celebrate it, we have a special online crop with Hip Kit Club on the Member Forum - Welcome!

Hello! This is my layout for CSI case file #161. The case file was revealed 11th April, but I'm posting mine today as Creative Embellishments is one of the sponsors now in April and I wanted to show this layout first in Creative Embellishments blog.

Evidence: circles, clocks, wet mediums - also other things from the picture!
Testimony: Document a journey.
I didn't have to wonder too long about my topic. The London picture, especially Big Ben and London Eye reminded me about our journey to London last fall and I wanted to write about it.

Hello all! I had so much fun during last weekend! I was teaching in Askartelupirtti, craft event in Finland, and oh how much I enjoyed it! Even though I can hardly walk at the moment because of my injured legs, I somehow managed to enjoy the weekend and teaching - thanks to painkillers!

I had two workshops, one on Saturday and one on Sunday.

The first one was a layout class. Above you can see pics of my sample layout. Lots of 13@rts goodies, mediums, delicious chippies from Creative Embellishments and background with PanPastels. I had 15 students, and it felt a lot considering the fact that this was my very first teaching experience ever! The class was success, students looked very satisfied and they either lied smoothly or really liked it a lot :D

Sunday class was about mixed media project, and I will tell you about it later.

Between the classes we had time to do some shopping and of course craft and chat with new and old friends. One thing I really enjoy this kind of events is that you can meet people face to face. Ladies who share the same state of mind.

I wish to see you all some day! ..and we actually have a chance if you like to come to Poland in June, there is a craft event for the whole weekend and I'm teaching there, too! Yey!

This layout does not have any special story behind it - it just was so fun to take some silly pics with my older daughter Maya while we were waiting the rest of the family.

I hope you'll have a great weekend - I'm sure I'll have as at the moment I'm teaching two workshops in the biggest craft event in Finland! Yey! Be sure to follow my Instagram feed, I'll promise to post some pics from the event.

Hellohello! Today is my day over at 13@rts blog, here. I was inspired by 13@rts current challenge, using your favorite color, I thought to make a layout with all my favorite colors. One by one and today was time for purple.

Tomorrow I'm going to the biggest annual craft event we have here in Finland, called Askartelupirtti. I'm teaching two workshops there, and guess how excited I am!?
Off to pack my bags now - see you soon!

Hello! My first official blog has just been revealed over at Hip Kit Club blog, so extremely exciting! I posted two layouts there, and this one here is the first one. And of course I have a process video, too. Hope you'll enjoy it! To create this layout, I used Hip Kit Club March Main Kit and March Color Kit.

The layout tells about my hairy friend Lotte, who looks like a donkey in the picture with her super large ears. Those ears are not really that big, it's just that it's quite hard to take selfies with a horse.

Hey there! Here is my layout for Words&Paintery April challenge. Even though I have really loved playing with Words&Paintery challenges, this will be my last for Words&Paintery Design Team. You know how it goes, life goes on, new adventures lies ahead and so on.

Big thank you for lovely Marie for having me there, I appreciate it so much!

The colors we have this month reminded me about my younger one, Mea. She loves yellow, if she could decide, she'd wear only yellow, she'd eat only yellow things such as bananas or pineapples and she would play with only yellow things :D That's why I took the yellow as my main color and journaling tells about her happy attitude.
